IRON REST.

AppIication filed October 26, 1925.

This invention relates to an improved at tachment for common sad irons,electric irons, and the like. wherein the same is con structed toprovide a permanently attached rest so that the iron may be turned up tothe vertical position, and effectively supported in that position toprevent scorching and burning of the article being pressed.

My principal aim is to generally improve upon attachments of this classby providing one of comparative simplicity and durability which isformed from a single plate of metal fastened upon the rear end and backof the iron to provide an eflicient support or rest for the iron whilein its inoperative vertical position.

Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent fromthe following description and drawing.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throu hout thesame:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the iron in its vertical positionshowing the improved attachment in place and in use.

Figure 2 is a. perspective view of the attachment disconnected from theiron.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 1 designatesthe handle of a common ordinary electric iron, 2 repre sents the body ofthe iron, 3 an electric socket, and 4: an electric cord connectedthereto. It is immaterial whether the iron be an electric iron or theold fashioned sad iron. v r

The attachment is represented generally by the reference character 5. Asbefore stated, it is formed from a single plate of metal. preferably ofpolished steel or similar sturdy material. The plate is bent to providea base 6, 7 designates a vertically Lip-turned front flan e, and 8designates apertured attaching cars which are turned inwardly to disposethem in spaced parallelism with the base portion. Extending up inparallelism with the front flange 7 are the attaching arms 9 which areapertured at their free Serial No. 64,899.

ends to permit passage of appropriatefastenings therethrough forfastening them to the back or top or body of the iron.

In practice. the ears 8 are fastened to the rear end of the iron asshown in Figure 1 at a point near the bottom, but spaced above it sothat the attachment will not interfere with the work. This disposes thebase in spaced parallelism to the rear end of the iron, and the base ispreferably of a proportion to extend beyond the back or top of the iron.This positions the attaching arms for connection to said back. Byreferring to Figure 1, a good idea of the method of attaching theattachment may be obtained. The attachment is at is ready for usewhenever necessary. lVhile ironing, the iron can be turned up on end tothe vertical position shown and supported upon the base withoutpermitting burning or scorching the apparel being pressed.

No doubt, by carefully considering the all times in place and Idescription in connection with the drawing,

persons familiar with structures of this kind will be able to obtain aclear understanding of the same. Therefore, a more lengthy descriptionis thought unnecessary.

While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shownv anddescribed it is to be understood that minor changes coming within thefield of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is A supporting attachment for an ironcomprising a single plate of metal bent to provide a base, a rightangular front flange, apertured attaching ears on said flange, anda pairof attaching arms bent at rightangles to the base. the ears beingadapted to be connected with one end of the iron andthe arms beingadapted to be connected with the top thereof, to dispose the base inspaced parallelism to said end. of the iron.

In testimony whereof I my signature.
